Meet Publix Associate Kevin

Meet Publix associate Kevin, his wife, Haley, and their three children, Eliza, 11, and twins Dax and Evelynn, 8, as they share their story of preterm birth and pregnancy complications. 

At 32 weeks, Eliza’s story began sooner than planned. Haley went through 48 hours of labor, and Eliza was born weighing 4 pounds, 6 ounces. She was rushed to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where she needed help breathing and was placed under a ventilated tent. Eliza fought for five weeks, experiencing repeated drops in her heart rate while relying on a feeding tube.

At 34 weeks, after Haley endured constant morning sickness, high blood pressure and preterm contractions, the family learned their twins were arriving early. Evelynn arrived first, strong and steady. But Dax was in critical condition — his heart rate dropped, and he needed resuscitation. He was also born with a broken collarbone and a collapsed lung. Both babies spent 12 days in the NICU, with Dax requiring chest and feeding tubes and Evelynn having jaundice.

Today, all three children are healthy and thriving. Thanks to the generosity of Publix's customers and associates, your gifts directly impacts March of Dimes' mission to fight for the health of all moms and babies.
